With the future of the business hanging in the balance, Angélique and Jean-René must overcome their limitations and confess their sweet affections for one another in this delectable comedy.


don't miss: the ruffled tuxedo shirt. (schnork-giggle!)



also don't miss: the slowest car chase in movie history.  (At least that's what the director calls it.) 


extra bonus points: if you can name the song that Angelique sings to herself when she needs a little courage.  (The choreography is pretty dead on.)



also don't miss: the web-con with the hermit from the mountains.


listen for (or read, if you don't speak French): "I am a volcano!"
